The new 2008 Cadillac CTS – carries a powerful aluminum engine that transforms all torque through a six-speed manual gearbox and sends it to the rear wheels in classic, and highly predictable and controllable, front-engine/rear-drive arrangement. This four-door spotter appears like it could out-run the wind and trump any twisty road course it comes across.

This car made history in 2003 as the first rear-wheel-drive (RWD) vehicle in Cadillac’s fleet since 1979, and the first stocking a manual transmission for a RWD Caddy in 50 years.

For 2008, an overhaul for Generation 2.0 of CTS brings fresh and new package styling with an impressive front grille patterned after the Cadillac Sixteen concept car. The new CTS scores a wheel track that is two inches wider, with traction in conventional RWD or on-demand, all-wheel-drive (AWD). Its two power train choices culminate with a forceful new direct-injection V6.

The sedan’s aggressive face features a prominent horizontal louver panel in modern expository of the Cadillac egg-crate grille and piercing optics with stacked round high-intensity discharge (HID) xenon lamps that swivel in concert with the vehicle’s front wheels.

The CTS is packed with comprehensive safety measures which include air bags surrounding front-seat riders, which stretch like curtains in concealment above front and rear side windows. The top V6 for the CTS makes 304 horsepower at 6,300 rpm, with the torque peaking up to 293 lb-ft at 5,200 rpm. With the base V6 on board, the CTS works in RWD or AWD mode. However, RWD if you prefer the direct-injection V6, only RWD applies.

Cadillac establishes a MSRP for the 2008 CTS beginning at $32,245 for the base engine with the RWD format and manual shifter. If you want to add the automatic transmission, MSRP rises to $34,545. Packaged equipment brings more gear for higher price – a Luxury Collection, Premium Luxury Collection, Performance love One and Luxury Level Two.

Certainly, owning this masterpiece gives every passerby a head turn and be the envy along the busy highways of Houston, Texas. Check your local Cadillac dealer in town for a test drive and experience the power.
